Default 71 Judge on Ebay.

This is an interesting 71 Judge. Missing some original parts, but it looks like a good one.

That looks like a very interesting Judge. Two owners, low mileage. Wow a great find there. Early bidding looks good it may just sell.

I just saw this car on e-bay this morning and agree - very interesting Judge. If you can get past the paint scheme and interior mods, it looks like a very nice car. Now - here's the question: Do you leave it like it is as a "period correct" modified car or do you take it back to original? I mean, come on - you used to see these custom paint jobs a lot back in the day so does it help or hurt the value of the car?

If the car was a Day 2 car, then by all means preservation should be considered.

But it's just a 1980s scheme, so I don't think it should carry much weight.

Nice car but as mentioned, do you keep as is or bring back to original???

Nice or not, I don't think the words: "unrestored original Judge" apply here.

This doesn't seem right:
"A 5% Agent fee is to be paid on top of the sale amount by the winning bidder at close of auction. This will be considered your deposit and is not deducted from final bid."

Ugh . . . some folks have NO taste . . .

G60x15 car though - fairly rare option on a '71.

Think it says;

" ...though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I feel no evil as I am the fastest mother (or mutha... cant read well) on the street"

Someone else is listing the car for the seller most likely, and I agree to restore back to original. This scheme is a total turn off...................IMO

I agree,current paint scheme is undesirable.
A rare car like this needs to be correctly restored

It would be hard to explain the paint if nobody did drugs back then.

I don't think it was influenced by drugs. I would guess perhaps a member of NAACP may have owned it

Even that is probably politically incorrect today? How about NAAAA? National Association for the Advancement of Afro Americans?

That 5% seams like a scam to me. I would look at it first. Nice resto project.
